I'm coming home from the gym tonight driving my new vehicle like a grandma as usual and I get pulled over. The officer asked for drivers license registration and proof of insurance right away. i think they usually just ask for drivers license---you should be able to see the registration sticker on the plate (well--I know they can because I found that out a couple months back). I had no idea why I was being stopped. She said it was because I came close to the side of the road once and crossed the center line just a tiny by a couple inches--WHAT? I kind of gave her my "are you kidding me?" look and handed over my credentials. She came back and gave my stuff with no ticket. I asked her while she was walking back to her car if she just wanted to stop me because I really wouldn't have a problem with that. Further, I noticed the ice was a foot out in the street from the snowbank so if I came very close to the edge, I would have run up on it. She just said both her and her partner noticed I was driving erratically.

How much do you want to bet her partner is the guy who pulled me over a couple months ago?

I drove back over the rout I was taking home and I really don't see how I could have been driving that badly even one time without having remembered it.

My guess is they ran your plate, saw that you had been ticketed for no insurance before and wanted to check to make sure you actually have insurance now. I think as long as you have your papers in order and are respectful you have nothing to worry about.

I guess it all depends on where you live what the penalty is for no insurance, drivers license or registration. I live in PA and was rear ended on my motorcycle near Coatesville, PA by a female driver with no insurance and driving on a suspended license. The cop didn't arrest her or impound her car, she was allowed to drive off with just a ticket. When I was young and stupid years ago I drove without insurance but I wouldn't dream of driving without adequate insurance today. Lesson learned on your part and hopefully there's a program available to you to take so you won't have a permanent record. PA has what's known as the ARD program and it's usually available to people with no criminal history and if you complete the program your record is expunged.

All went well. the charges were changed to non-criminal offenses. Hopefully I do not have an arrest record. I have checked online but you need to pay to get the background check data.

I'm currently looking for work and getting interviews but no hire. 6 now. Could be there is an arrest record. ...but it could be a lot of things like I'm old. IDK? I should probably pay up the $ and see what they have on me.
